Nelson Hotel

Status note

We are not publishing this as a live recommendation. The property listed as “Nelson Hotel” corresponds to The Nelson, a small sports-bar-and-guesthouse on Soi 6 (Soi Yodsak) off Beach Road. Our 2026 checks indicate the business appears to have rebranded to “Sandman Hotel & Sports Bar”, so the Nelson name may no longer be current.

The current former-name record gives a more useful check than the old hotel name alone: Sandman Bar lists 437/98-99 Soi Yodsak (6), phone +66 63 841 0618, pool tables, sports on TVs and 08:00-01:00 hours. Its current listing classifies the business as a bar, tags it for pool and sports, and identifies the property as the former Nelson. Tripadvisor identifies Sandman Hotel and Sports Bar as formerly known as The Nelson Pattaya Guest House and records 11 rooms. Trip.com preserves the older guesthouse description, including air conditioning, public-area Wi-Fi, a bar and 24-hour front desk. The different names, business category and dates are why this page should be used to verify identity, not to book the Nelson name.

If you’re searching for it, verify the present name, ownership and status before booking — check the latest Agoda or Booking.com listing and the venue’s own social pages.

Current Sandman listing boundary

Agoda’s current Sandman listing describes an outdoor pool, 11 rooms, four floors, check-in from 12:00 and reception until 01:00. Those details belong to the current Sandman identity, while the Nelson name remains a former-name search route. Cheers gives the current Sandman bar hours as 08:00-01:00 at the same Soi Yodsak address and identifies pool tables and sports TVs. The bar hours, room inventory and reception window should not be treated as proof that every hotel or bar facility shares identical hours.

The current Cheers record classifies Sandman as a bar and exposes a Facebook contact route plus +66 63 841 0618, but it does not show a room rate, room-availability calendar or hotel booking link. That is a useful status fact: Agoda’s room inventory can identify the current former-Nelson property, while Cheers is the stronger lead for the active bar and its daily hours. Keep the two evidence surfaces separate when checking whether a room is actually bookable.

What it was

A budget guesthouse attached to a Soi 6 sports bar: a handful of simple, air-conditioned rooms aimed at visitors wanting cheap accommodation in the middle of the Soi 6 nightlife scene, with live sport shown downstairs. Soi 6 is an adult-nightlife lane, so the setting is lively and adult-oriented — not a quiet or family choice.
